I just want to say that the most important thing to take away from all of this is that Conrad has switched to black pants, and that’s a major step for me. I actually looked at Marie’s very first character sketch in an old sketchbook and she originally had a lot more black to her look as well, so look for that in the future. Some things didn’t transition as smoothly to black-and-white and I had thought, and others were apparently built for it, I just forgot. For, you know, a year.
